Liverpool played in there final Friendly before their chance to win the first trophy of the season on Saturday. However, Salzburg went away to win 1-0 in Austria.
RB Salzburg started the game on the front foot, they capitalised on Liverpool’s defensive mistakes and had early chances. However, Liverpool had chances early as well, with Nuñez hitting the side netting from a very tight angle early in the first half.
However, it was Salzburg who took the lead through there Man of the Match, Benjamin Šeško. He is a 19 year old Slovenian international who stands at 6ft4in. Last season he scored 21 goals in 29 games jn the Austrian second division where he was on loan at FC Liefering. He looks to be a great talent and he showed a lot of potential against the Reds yesterday.
Liverpool had shots from everywhere in the pitch but non of them were going in. Shots were being saved, hitting the woodwork, going wide or over, it just wasn’t their day.
25 shots as a total and a whopping 75% possession for the Reds which really shows that the result does not represent the game. However, Salzburg defended well and showed that they are a good team.
Lots of positives for the game such as the youth players really showing their talents. Another being Adrian being brilliant throughout the game. It’s just unfortunate to have not found the back of the net.
Going into Saturday I think the lads will go into it with there heads high. The result yesterday did not reflect what the game was like and they should look at it positively.
